There is nothing overrated about Wichita State. Those guys were pretty darn good. Did you watch the game? Listen to the guys discuss it? Do you have any background knowledge of Kentucky? Kentucky played their best game of the year and Wich. State had a chance to win. That should tell you something. I don't think Wich. State is one of the top 4 teams in the country, but they deserved a #1 seed. They have no control over their schedule.

During the season, Wichita St. beat just as many teams that made the tournament as Louisville did. The Shockers were 5-0 versus tournament teams, while Louisville was 5-5, yet everyone was pouting about Louisville not being a 1 or 2 seed. The Shockers proved a lot today, even with the loss. Kentucky played lights out today, much better than any game they played this year. Seriously, they looked elite. And, yet, Wichita State still seemed like the better team most of the day. Best game of the tournament by far. Best game of the year, really. A game that came down to which team was more unbelievably good, not which team crapped the bed.

They do have control of their OOC schedule.

But yeah, they are a very good team.

On another note, Charles Barkley has to be the most boring analyst I can think of. He sounds as if he's going to fall asleep at any given time.

Also, I'm sick of seeing these coaches cry after losing. Losing is part of the game. Dry your eyes and be proud of what you accomplished. Hundreds of other teams would have loved to be in their position.

People don't want to schedule Wichita st. They do not have the control of their ooc schedule y'all seem to think. It is the same as to why Ohio St doesn't schedule dayton. Also it wasn't their ooc schedule that hurt them. They had they 28th (sos) ranked non conference schedule (rpi of 2) in the country while their overall schedule was 98 (sos) with rpi of 4. So yeah not overrated.

Wichita State has opportunities to play higher profile teams, they just don't want to have to do 2-for-1 or other less than favorable deals to get those games. KU won't schedule them regardless, but they could get games with the other Big 12/Big 10 teams if they really wanted to.

TN did a home and home with them. We beat them in Knoxville last year and they beat us in Witchita this year. Both were great games.

tennessee got it all the way down to 1 and then played the dumbest last 8 seconds imaginable. they are killing michigan with dribble drives from their non bigs so they throw it in to stokes facing up on a defender 17 feet from the basket and ask him to drive. of course he gets the ball knocked and called for a charge.

then instead of immediately committing the two fouls they try knocking the inbounds pass away and whittle the clock down to 2.1 seconds in the process so they have no chance but a 3/4 court heave at the buzzer to win the game.
